Case Results of Anton John Hopen

Represented Petitioner. Outcome: Invalidation of all material claims. Favorably settled during pendency of the Federal Circuit appeal.

Reversal of PTAB’s invalidity finding. The case involved US Patent No. 6,218,290 asserted against Apple, Inc. for infringement of wireless communications technologies pertaining to Bluetooth peripherals. The Federal Circuit issued a precedential opinion fully reversing the PTAB’s decisions in the underlying IPRs, thereby upholding validity of the ‘290 Patent.

Non-institution–validity of the patent preserved. In the underlying litigation, U.S. Court of Claims awarded a patent infringement verdict amounting to approximately $70 million over the life of the patent. This is the largest known U.S. Court of Claims patent infringement award in history.

Outcome: Non-institution with respect to several claims. Settled during pendency of the Federal Circuit appeal.

Full non-institution in IPR2015-00569 and non-institution with respect to all claims asserted in litigation in IPR2016-01414. As a result of this win, StoneEagle received a multi-million dollar verdict in the underlying litigation.
